1 Love the photos....keep 'em coming! Hilarious.

2 Why don't you guys ease up on Dan Rather and talk about real substance? This country is screwed thanks to the fact that no one cares about issues. All they want to do is tear down other people. You know what? CBS screwed up, but just about everyone ignored the fact that the SUBSTANCE of the story was correct. Bush did get special favors to get into the Guard. I have no idea why the memos were faked. But Bush leapfrogged over countless other people to get one of only a few spots in what was called the "Champagne Unit," because it contained many sons of privelege. There's not much doubt Bush got into the Guard by special favor of his father. And those memos were just one of multiple sources. WHY ARE PEOPLE OBSESSING ABOUT THOSE MEMOS rather than asking real questions? CBS messed up, but you don't know what messed up is until you witness 8 years of the most dangerous, most un-American president in history. He has thrown away the foreign policy used by everyone from George Washington to Bill Clinton in order to pursue the foreign policy project of a bunch of nutcases. And his domestic policy consists of trying to hack down the barrier between church and state that our founding fathers worked so hard to put in place. And as for the quote above, why didn't you mention that Dan Rather editorialized on air that he didn't think this should turn into a protracted legal battle, that Americans would simply prefer a concession. Why no mention of this? Most of what CBS reports is true. You guys prefer to run away from the facts by labeling these guys as liberals or Bush-haters so that you don't have to deal with the countless failures of Bush's first term. But these failures will creep up to us one day. You'll have to tell your grandchildren you voted for this moron. This isn't about GEORGE W. BUSH. He is not a God. This is about America. I wish people would wake up and start paying attention rather than just having so much fun finding ways to rationalize why Bush's failure of a presidency is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

3 Laura, you might have gotten confused because it seems your sense of humor is a little underdeveloped. Anyway, here is a sigularly obvious cue to you that this particular thread is not going to be a in depth, multi-faceted exploration of Bush's Presidency: it's based on a still frame of a Dan Rather broadcast where the picture behind him looks like Bush making a lewd gesture. One explanation for your confusion may be that your poorly reasoned arguments based on incorrect facts get bitch-slapped/Kerry-slapped on threads with more serious designs. So you pick on the little threads just trying bring a little joy into the world at the expense of yet another emperor found lacking in clothes. I don't know, could be Bush (re-elected by a record setting popular vote, and first pres. since 1936 to be re-elected with gains for his party in both the House and the Senate) or could be Rather (I'd rather not go there.) Thanks. Best, Hortense BTW: a bitch is a female dog, not, as some may think, a female human, and I don't feel any need to apologise for a phrase that might merely insult a dog. (You can't insult a dog: Insult is a dog.)

4 A 'bitch' is also the 'catcher' in a jail-house relationship.

5 Don't get me started on that one .

6 There is a reason to instigate this matter further cause it is alleged the bush did the following 1. Were the drink and drive charges fake? 2. The cocaine charges in Houston Fake? 3. Arrest in Yale fake? 4. National Guard entire I mean entire episode fake? 5. HArken oil and Bin Laden Fake? So drunk driving,cocaine charges, desparate business.....no guard....a pattern!!! A pattern or fake against the impeachable Dan Rather? Why that document with that content. Wher did the leater head come from? From a Ibm selectric. The Ibm selectric was the writer used at this base and lo and behold the ball created proportional spacing. Let us go to this base a little in texas and then in Alabama. Yes and check on this half cocked pilot........ What I want you .... bloggers and the nation to prove is that he bush did not drink, did not take cocaine, was never arrested and went to Vietnam to serve. We have become a gutless and that is what we are! Oh the Niger papers fake. So if the Niger papers were fake and the bush papers were fake lets fire them both!!!
